| Summary: | In this research, the Google search volume index for a CEO's name and stock ticker are
used to measure the CEO publicity, and examine the competing hypotheses on its
effect on the earning management. Based on the analysis of the CEOs of 514 Malaysia
listed companies from Bursa Malaysia between 2010 and 2014, the finding supports
the former and shows that the CEOs with high publicity provoke a higher degree of
earning management and manipulate the earnings performance of the companies. The
findings are robust to other measures of earning management, and have important
implications on both earning performance and investors. Further research is suggested
in order to identify if the findings are similar for all the industry sectors. |
